1. While Lotta Rosie
Acca Dacca is the name of an Australian great music band that has a global reputation. The band became too popular that many people even cannot remember the name of the two brothers who were the founder of it. Angus and Malcolm are two brothers who grew up in Burwood located in inner West of Sydney.
When they there Young enough, they moved from Scotland to Australia. Their very first album seems to be more like an Australian sound particularly its great songs named T.N.T and Long Way to The Top. But their Legend is whole lotta Rosie which was based on a true story.
He got his inspiration after spending one night with a lady while they were on a tour in Tasmania. Although their next song English man was too popular, the song of Rosie wins the first place when they perform it live.
2. Let’s Make It Last All Night , Jimmy Barnes
Barnes is a must for you and the Australia Day barbecue. James Dixon swann, like his old friend, was born in Scotland. He’s one of the biggest and most popular rock singer of all the time in Australia. He has many hit songs on the ARIA charts, such as class man and no second prize that are definitely on anyone’s playlist.
However, we highly recommend you to add “let’s make it last all night” to your playlist which was sung by him in 1990. This is a song selected from his album named two fires for yours.
3. Ita – Cold Chisel
In spite of the fact that the Australia Day demonstrates the power of Jimmy Barnes, he will be included in the list, but this time for his friend in Adelaide band. You might have heard about cold chisel.
Every Australian individual who is into pop, knows Khe Sanh and Flame Trees perfectly as well as many other great rock songs. However, one of their top songs is still Ita which is about Ita Buttrose, a very successful Australian lady in the media whom the band was an ardent fan of.
If you want to understand chisel by your heart, you have to add the song “letter to Alan” to your playlist. In fact, we highly recommend you to play every song from the album “circus animals” which is a masterpiece.

When you think of Crowded House, you’re probably thinking, “Isn’t that a kiwi?” Neil Finn who was born in New Zealand, created his previous band Split Ends with his brother Tim in New Zealand, while Crowded House was being formed in Melbourne with two Australian artists named Paul Hester, the drummer and Nick Seymour, the bassist.
They also performed a farewell performance on the steps of the Sydney Opera House. Like Far Rapp, Russell Crowe and Pavlova, sorry Kiwis, they are ours now. “Weather With You,” “Don’t Dream It’s Over,” and “I Feel Possessed,” from the album “Temple Of Low Men,” are grossly perfect.

It’s strange that an Australian Idol contestant’s song is now a classic hit, but Ricky Lee has gained a big reputation for himself despite finishing just 7th in Season 2. The “Sunshine” was her second single song that came out in 2005, the year of her debut.
While many can’t get over the hype surrounding the show, a second hit is an extraordinary success for a reality TV star. It’s also quite a banger. Moreover, no one would name a candidate who finished ahead of her this year exept big finalists Casey Donovan and Anthony Carea.

Men at Work’s Land Down Under is the most-played song of any Australian sports team game and perhaps the most well-known song about Australia in the world. But ‘Met At Work’ has other great Australian rock hits, and ‘Overkill’ is grossly underrated.
